Last week the kids at Pacific High School got there hands wet and learned how to use their new water quality equipment. PHS science teacher, Michael Smith, and students will be running the lab to learn more about the water quality around the Port Orford area. The students will be doing independent and group projects to identify water quality trends. Their efforts will also be part of a larger cooperative project to help define and better understand a marine stewardship area through the Port Orford Ocean Resource Team. Surfrider and local volunteers are needed to help collect samples on a monthly basis. Anyone interested should contact cplybon@surfrider.org.
